What I would do, is after I checked each word and each letter in the Khabouris text, against other Eastern Peshitta manuscripts, such as The 1199 (Asahel Grant) and the Mingana Codex, which is a Masora text, I'd then put the text in place (without any scribal errors) in the apparatus section, like you have there in the collation. A note could be given for the correction, which as I have seen so far should be just a few small instances.

Also, do you see that variant in Mark 1:2 there. Notice how the reading in the Khabouris has agreement with all the others versions except the UBS/BSBF text. I have seen that this reading is quite usual when a quotation is given in the text. It seems to be a feature of the Aramaic NT. I'm not sure if it is universal in the Peshitta text, but I have come across it many many times.

Aye proclitic /d-/ is common across a number of diialects to introduce direct quotations, taking on a similar meaning to "that" (amar d-flan XYZ = "he said that so-and-so XYZ").

On the collation page I eyeballed the first 8 verses.

With the full book I used Silver's transcription as put up on Dukhrana, re-encoded it to CAL encoding and put it into both the master file and a separate collation which is just the UBS and Khabouris together. The latter took about 7 minutes for the collation script to chew through, plus another minute to typeset; however, I haven't run the former as I'm still entering the Vatican, Sinai, and Harris CPA codices which have to be transcribed by hand.

Thank you sir.
I already have printed hebrew keyed to strongs a genesius.
